are you saying it would be unlikely in this case or unlikely right now? Right now, I agree, Palin wouldn't go second-fiddle again.

Couple results would be McCain getting his butt handed to him by an even bigger margin. Palin energized the base far more than T-Paw could ever dream of doing. So you wouldn't see Pawlenty even thinking of getting back into the race, which could mean either someone else takes his place at the...

interesting how that meme keeps getting kicked around, particularly when it was Dems that railed AGAINST much of the Civil Rights legislation and attempted to filibuster many of the Civil Rights Acts.

The Lannisters from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones are good examples of the "anti-villain". The family is seen as the "main villain" by everyone fighting against them, yet you get to see the family from the "inside" through Tyrion, Jamie and Cersay where you get to see the motivation for...

by the prequels the problems have gone. Filming in Australia probably helped the most, but most of his filming has always been outside the US so idk. With as big as Star Wars is, it probably doesn't have any affect.

I was always under the impression that there was a large contingent of Cubans that WANTED to become part of the US, which would make things a lot easier. As for the space launching area, I doubt that Cuba would be used for the simple matter of transporting rockets across the Gulf just...

Thats not entirely true, Star Wars: A New Hope was a "studio" system movie, however for Empire and on they were independent movies, which Lucas used his own money to back, during the filming he did have to go to Fox and get some help to back the loans he got from the bank, but it was still "his"...

I don't think the PG-13 rating is going to affect much, it's Star Wars, the PG-13 rating didn't hurt ROTS, most parents don't really seem to care that much, and for this series even less. Remember that Empire is considered the BEST of the bunch and it was much darker and gritter than the others...

yeah, understandable. IDK if you're going to find too many actual names for character out side of actual named characters in scripts as 90% of names come from the EU. Hell, Lucas used an pre-established EU character in the Phantom Menace (Aura Sing, granted they pulled that out of their asses as...

I'm sure you can find some Naboo specific naming conventions, or you could just go with the standard "Star Wars" one heres one generator http://www.dimfuture.net/starwars/random/generate.php

Gotcha...didn't know that was the original name...learn something new everyday :D

I did have one other question, why the planet name change from Naboo to Utapto?

The comment about her Ellen role was more what Lucas' would say about her with the role, particularly when it comes to his characters "image" and how people react to it. I couldn't care less about it either, just Lucas probably wouldn't want the kind of backlash she received associated with his...

was it? eh..it was a thought. There is a reason the Spanish quit being a World Power long before then, bankrupt and fighting wars...stupid virus hit them hard. :D:D

Possibly, and probably, however that doesn't mean that at that particular time (meaning 1890's) that the two would be "at each other throats". Hell, look at the period between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, the US and England, while hating each other, interacted in trade and stayed...

Couple of idea's for Padame: Jodi Foster - probably unlikely as she's a pretty big name, but I think she could handle the part Julianne Moore - Red-headed hottie, may butterfly away Boogie Nights or Jurassic Park II: the Lost World, again may be to "big" for Lucas but I think she would...

Yes, a baseless accusation that Lincoln was going to force change through legislation, which was asinine as it would have required a Constitutional amendment to get rid of. Thus a political cause for getting rid of it. Economically, they would have been forced to get rid of it eventually...

While part of the US they didn't NEED to industrialize, independently they would have to as imports would be much more expensive. The south wasn't poor, just the wealth was more concentrated in a fewer people, as was the land. There were far more large plantation owners which concentrated...

largely depends on how long the Civil War lasted. They weren't founded on "no-change" they were founded on "no FORCED change" by Washington under the Constitution. Having to change based on economic conditions (ie needing industrial goods) is far different than being forced to change just...

in 20 years? Unlikely, especially if the war is quick (about the only way the CSA could be in a position gain it's independence). Even if they are "forced" to disband slavery by outside political pressure (or even economic), the practice would still continue in all but name in some form. In a...
